"Star Dust"
An Impossible object behind the Sun too big to be real. The God-like power of the artist
Eclipse 2017
Traveling to the northern Oregon site with telescope, camera and camping gear was an uncertanty for any good sky because there were fires everywhere in the northern Oregon area. So as we were in the greater northern forests we passed through disconcerning sporatic smoky skies and obscured Sun. Great skys for sunsets but not for solar astronomy. Using maps from the US Forestry office we stopped at, we found a perfect spot in off road BLM land away from the thousands of people in the local area and with luck clear enough sky between the fires smoke for the actual eclipse. I've colorized the seperate exposures here I composited to ceate a more pleasing aestetic from the normal black and white astronomical photos we see while showing the beauty of the several minutes we had where the night creatures started calling out and making the experience the most wonderful eclipse we have ever seen.
